Metro East Chapter of Credit Unions Charity Committee

Purpose Statement

Keeping with the Credit Union philosophy of "People Helping People," Metro East Chapter of Credit Unions Charity Committee will provide the necessary support to make a positive charitable impact within our combined communities.
